The Northwoods Quilters quilting club in Marcell, MN believes in
fighting CF one block at a time. Shortly after Paige’s diagnosis,
Barb Ryan, a childhood neighbor and close family friend, asked her
quilting club if they would be interested in making and donating a
quilt to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Twenty-five quilters agreed to donate hours of their time and talent
to create a breathtaking queen-size quilt. The group selected a rose
theme in honor of the CFF’s symbol (65 roses). The queen-sized
quilt, valued at over $700, raised more than $1900 in raffle ticket
sales.
Thank you all for giving a gift that is: “soft enough to comfort
you, bright enough to cheer you, generous enough to enfold you,
strong enough to withstand adversity, durable enough to last a
lifetime, and given gladly, from the heart.”
